Solo: Kenneth Smith Soloist

Solo: Paul Rhodes Soloist

“Beautiful and sensitive renditions of what is now regarded as standard flute repertoire. Paul Rhodes is the ideal accompanist, never overpowering and always follows the soloists’ every nuance. The performances seem effortless, always the signature of great performers.”

Robert Brown -South Australian Flute News

“... A varied, extended and delightful treat for jaded ears.. Smith is effortlessly superb in his coloratura technique and expressive phrasing, filling these works with clean summer oxygen and a sprightly skip. This is a recital to savour enhanced by good quality audio.”

Byzantion - MusicWeb-International.com

" Kenneth Smith plays the coloratura part with consummate flexibility, while Paul Rhodes provides a perfect accompaniment the sound is clear and both instruments are equally presnet. I think a great many lovers of flute music will want to own it. "

Maria Nockin - Fanfare - November/December 2013

“... Smith brings evenness of tone and an individual singing quality throughout the register and always with flawless intonation. [His] wonderful clarity in the high register is exceptional [his] ability to make seamless, dramatic shifts in colouring is simply inspiring. These tunes may be well-known old warhorses but you could not better their performance.”
